Validated Part / Validated ContributionWe have designed our own BioBrick Parts related to our project, and documented their experimental characterisation on the Registry
-
CollaborationWe have collaborated with other teams, including the University of Oxford team on different parts of our projects, including the Human Practices section, wiki building and biology.
-
Human PracticesThroughout the project we have implemented cycles including the AREA framework and the EDP cycle in order to ensure that our project was thoughtful and in line with responsible research guidelines. In conjunction with this, we analysed different areas of responsibility that arise at the intersection of science and industry.

Integrated Human PracticesBuilding on our work in Human Practices, we had extensive contact with different stakeholders in order to ensure that our project was being influenced by the people who it would affect at every stage. Their feedback was fed directly back into our design.

Improve a Previous PartWe improved the wild type PETase Part designed by Harvard in 2016. Click the links to find the original Part and our improved Part.
-
Model Your ProjectWe designed models to inform different sections of our project, including the biology and the filter design.
-
Demonstration of Your WorkWe have been able to demonstrate success in all areas of our project. We have successfully captured microfibres from a washing cycle using our filter design, developed enzymes capable of degrading PET with improved stability, demonstrated our ability to wirelessly control the delivery of the enzymes as well as the water flow into our filter unit, and more.
